  • 1/4 teaspoon diced minced onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder (Spanish is best)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 flour tortillas (6 "inch")
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 3/4 cup mild picante sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives

Preparation

Step 1

1 Cook the ground beef over medium heat until brown, then drain.

2 Return meat to pan and add the salt, onions, paprika, chili powder and water.

3 Let mixture simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.

4 Heat oil in frying pan over medium-high heat.

5 When oil is hot, fry each tortilla for about 30-45 seconds per side and drain on paper towels.

6 Be sure to pop any bubbles that form when frying so that the tortilla lays flat in the oil.

7 Tortillas should become golden brown.

8 Heat refried beans.

9 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

10 Stack each pizza by first spreading 1/3 C beans on one tortilla.

11 Next add 1/3 C meat, then another tortilla.

12 Top the second tortilla with 2 T of salsa.

13 Divide the tomato, cheese, onions and olives evenly and top in that order.

14 Bake for 8-12 minutes.
